Hello everyone, I just realized my pre-typed posts have not actually been posting, so I apologize for the lack of communication.  I will compile all the information and resources and make another post later on this week, but a quick update is below for each grade:

THIRD GRADE:

We completed our study of different hobbies and sports, and started learning about school subject and school supplies.  We will finish the week talking a bit about the Mayan culture and looking at their numbers and calendar.  Workbook page 36 is due Thursday, we will do 37 in class, and 38 will be due Monday.  Actually, pages 33-38 should all be completed by Monday.  These have all been completed in class or assigned over the last couple weeks.

FOURTH GRADE:

We have completed learning about different activities in school, and also after school activities.  The students have been assigned workbook pages 33-37 and also a weekly schedule worksheet was due today.  Workbook page 38 will be due Friday, so please be sure all pages 33-38 are complete.

FIFTH GRADE:

We have completed learning about school subjects and differences and similarities between schools here in the US and in El Salvador.  We have recently been reviewing numbers to 100 and how to tell time.  So far, the fifth graders have been assigned workbook pages 33-35 and also two worksheets.  The time worksheet is due Friday.

Let me know if you have any questions!  Have a great week. :)

3^rd grade – Thursday, January 5, 2017

Happy New Year!! I was so happy to see your scholars at school today, and we had a great Spanish class!  We decoded the Spanish word “Los pasatiempos,” to figure out that the actual word literally means pass (pasa) times (tiempos).  We talked about how a pasatiempo is basically an activity that we do to pass time, or in English, a hobby.  The students told me what their favorite hobbies were (Mi pasatiempo favorito es…), we learned some Spanish vocabulary, and then practiced them in some example conversations.  The notes (plus some pictures) and quizlet link are below.  There are no workbook pages for homework, but I would love for them to study these new words, phrases, and conversations.  Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend!

4^th grade – Friday, January 6, 2017

Happy New Year!  Due to an assembly in the afternoon on Friday, we will have shortened Spanish classes.  We are going to glue a map of and the flag from Mexico into our spirals.  We will color and discuss both the location of Mexico and the meaning of the colors and emblem on the flag.
